The Great Tree (game review) 4 of 5 *

The Great Tree is a beautiful game with a haunting and dark storyline. The narrator is a young voiced female fairy with a distrubing tale of the invasion of her people by a dark race bent on distroying them and preventing them from getting much-needed pollen to the Great Tree – the source of their life force.

I was drawn into this game in the first 5 minutes. The kids were totally into the music and the flittering fairy zooming around to pick up pollen. There is an amazing storyline that is told in various increments throughout the game.

Christmas is time for EVERYONE to play stuff. This one is a winner. I stayed up way to late last night completing the 100th level. And I wanted to keep playing.
